The purpose of the Thunderbird Learners Program is to motivate children to want to read and to be open to learning through storytelling, art and crafting.

The love of reading happens when children enjoy the time spent exploring stories actively with those closest to them – their siblings, caregivers or friends.

Our program offers the opportunity for families of children aged 6-12 years old, to take the journey together. Parents and caregivers especially, can nurture the reading seed by spending time in the exciting world of storytelling, book reading and discussion about the many things learned in the process.

We can help our children find the tools they need to succeed in life.
Having access to information through the printed word is an absolute necessity.
Knowledge is power, and books are full of it. But reading is more than just a practical tool.

Through books we can enrich our minds; we can also relax and enjoy some precious leisure moments.

With your help, your children can begin a lifelong relationship with the printed word, so they grow into adults who read easily and frequently whether for business, knowledge, or pleasure.
